THE Gower’s stunning coastline now has even more reason to be described as out of this world – after sci-fi hit Torchwood moved its filming there from Los Angeles.

Crews from the Doctor Who spin-off have been filming on Rhossili Beach for the show’s fourth series this week, where actors John Barrowman and Eve Myles are reprising their roles as Captain Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper.

The new 10-part international version of Torchwood is being subtitled Miracle Day after its startling plot, which sees the end of death on Earth – and examines the overnight population issues that creates.

Speaking of the US-UK co-production, which will air later this year, Torchwood writer Russell T Davies said: “One thing I’ve quite enjoyed is the little jokes in the show about Brits feeling lost in America and Americans not knowing where Wales is.

“When I first began working on the show some six years ago I was quite confident that we had made quality TV but I had not expected it to be as big as it was.”

And back in his home city, Mr Davies also said he would love to work with another Swansea exile: 41-year-old Oscar winner Catherine Zeta Jones.

He said: “If I could work with any person in the world it would be Catherine Zeta Jones.”
